Baked Potatoes

I love potatoes. I love a stuffed potato more though. 

•  Russet potatoes
• Oil, I used EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
• Salt

The steps necessary to make the potatoes is actually pretty easy.

Preheat oven to 350

• Wash your potatoes. Scrub the skin lightly with a vegetable brush or the rough part of a CLEAN sponge. You want to take all the dirt off without peeling off the skin.
• Next, coat your hands with olive oil. Rub your hands around an entire potato. Repeat with the rest. You don't want too much oil on the skin, just enough so that it is coated in a thin layer.
• Now, lightly stab your potato with a fork about 8 times in different areas. This helps the potato cook evenly.
• Lightly salt your potatoes.

•  To cook your potatoes, place them directly on to rack. Add a pan or a sheet of aluminum foil to catch any drippings. This will ensure that your skins are golden and crispy. 

This is the part I hate; waiting. Depending on the size the potatoes can take from an hour to two.

Once done, you can dress up your potato o your liking. Enjoy!
